For whatever reason, I've never found checked exceptions a compelling
feature. It's absolutely in the right spirit, one which I agree
wholeheartedly with. And yet I find that at least in the Java
implementation, it seems to create more headaches than it prevents.
To me, it also seems as if it would be a good idea, but using it
is awkward. In some coursework, I used a Java cryptographic system.
It had a lot of exceptions to handle so my code had a lot of catches.
Because I did not know what was thrown, I wrote my code without them
and then added whatever the compiler stated was missing. In those
catches, there really was not anything that I could do other than
reporting the error.
